Am I cheating myself by going straight to Pro?
I have recently started to analyze deals on paper and use resources that I find to complete my analysis. But then I found my resource for finding rent was likely not so good, and also that I might be calculating RoI wrong.
Then I find all these tools in one place in BP. I am very tempted to upgrade to a Pro account and just have the BP tools do the hard work for me, but I feel like that might be cheating and that I might be worse for it in the long run.
Would I be cheating myself by going Pro so early?
